“This is a quick granola snack recipe that my sister-in-law gave to me one snow day when the kids were home. She told me the kids would eat the batch in a day and she was sure right! I tend to double the recipe so I am not making it every day!”

This was my first time making granola bars and I had seen so many different kinds of recipes I didn't know where to start. I'm glad this was my first one to try, this recipe is perfect and easy and tasty! I did what others suggested and added a little more peanut butter, corn syrup and brown sugar. I made a double batch right off bat and used half rice crisp cereal and half honey bunches of oats cereal. I also added mini chocolate chips. I did this in the beginning and they melted, but it tasted amazing.... if you wanted them whole I would suggest adding them after. Also I used wax paper instead of cooking spray, less mess and easy clean up. This recipe will be a keeper for sure!

I put chocolate chips in the mix right away, only for them to melt when I poured in the peanut butter mixture. It still tasted fine, but I really enjoy have chunks of chocolate in my granola bars. You could also use peanut butter or butterscotch chips. This is a great way to use up the cereal (rice krispies, cheerios, ) that has lost its appeal from being in the pantry for too long. :)

These are great! I also used the honey instead of the corn syrup from the suggestion of SHMANESSA8. It worked great. I also used only 2 cups rice crispies and instead added 1/2 cup sunflower seeds. I also substituted dried blueberries for the raisins. They turned out great.
